Very beautiful activity, the guide was super nice. We learned a lot of things. I recommend it without hesitation.
Our driver, Mikhail is a lifelong Lyonaise resident and a wonderful tour guide for history buffs. As he pedaled along he regaled us with his knowledge of French history and pointed out so many features that would have gone unnoticed without his guidance. A great way to get the lay of the land and a real boon for those with mobility issues. Highly, highly recommend
We booked this tour the day before when we realized we wouldn’t get to walk around / see as much on our own in our short time in Lyon because it was raining in our first day. Michael is knowledgeable and a great story teller who gave us the 1 hour glimpse of Lyon and its history. In hindsight, I wish we would have booked him first bc he showed us a lot of cool places we’d like to return to. Highly recommend!
Mikhail was incredible as our guide and pedicab driver. His historical knowledge and the tremendous pride he takes in his city was central to the tour. We consider this tour to be the best of the many we have taken across Europe and highly recommend it.
Mikhaïl was an excellent guide - he was passionate about the city of Lyon and very knowledgeable. He had a good sense of humour and made the 2 hours trip an absolute pleasure.
He is VERY knowledgeable and we would add extremely kind. He wants to personally show you Old Lyon, while making sure your questions and needs are met. We think anyone would be satisfied if they book the tour. It was a lot of fun!
Fun, informative, great guide, good way to get your bearings in the city and learn some history . Guide friendly and on time.
A wonderful last-minute booking on a drizzly day in Lyon. A fun and informative tour of the old town.
If you don't want to fight your way over cobblestones, this is for you! I have some mobility issues, yet wanted to see more of Lyon. Michael was WONDERFUL! Even though we encountered a huge protest march and police action (May Day), Michael was able to get us around the city and showed us most of what we wanted to see. He was very informative and gave us a lot of the history of Lyon and of France. A great way to see the city!
I highly recommend Mikhail, an absolutely great guide. From the very beginning, it created a friendly and pleasant atmosphere, which made the experience even more special. His passion is contagious and he shares his knowledge with great generosity and enthusiasm. His anecdotes and attention to detail make all the difference. He is much more than just a guide: he is someone who deeply loves what he does and who transmits it with authenticity. A very nice meeting that I recommend without hesitation!
